PAUL RODGERS
LIVE AT THE RED ROBINSON SHOW THEATRE
SATURDAY, MARCH 17
Coquitlam, BC – Musicians and critics worldwide have dubbed Paul Rodgers, “THE VOICE”. Never before has any artist led three bands to international success in addition to creating a successful solo career until Rodgers. He is undeniably one of music’s most distinctive vocalists. Rodgers first shot up the international radio charts with his 1970 rock anthem, “All Right Now” with the band, Free who – along with Led Zeppelin – were the biggest grossing British act. After the band’s break up in 1973, Rodgers formed Bad Company who went on to earn six multi-platinum albums. Their hits include “Feel Like Making Love”, “Can’t Get Enough”, “Shooting Star”, “Bad Company” “Run With The Pack” and “Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy”. After leaving the group in 1982, he released his first solo album, Cut Loose the following year.
In 1984, he teamed with Jimmy Page to form The Firm which resulted in two albums and the hit singles “Radioactive”, “Satisfaction Guaranteed” and “All the King’s Horses”. He later formed The Law with Kenney Jones – former drummer for Small Faces and The Who – in 1991. Their hit single “Laying Down The Law” was written by Rodgers and ranked #1 on Billboard’s AOR charts. His Grammy nominated solo album, Muddy Water Blues was released in 1993 and celebrated his blues roots and respect for Muddy Waters … one of Rodgers’ primary influences. In 1999, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Los Angeles Music Awards Association. Paul Rodgers will be performing for one night only at Boulevard Casino’s Red Robinson Show Theatre on March 17, 2012.
